>>there is this hole in my slip and i have no idea how it got there. any clues? no? it really pisses me off. you think i dont notice these things, but i do. you do think that, dont you? dont you? dont you? look at me. i notice things, i notice every little *beep* thing. the thing you need to realize now [or maybe: i think you need to realize this now?] and youre gonna realize it real soon, too... there is nothing you can do about this little thing thats happening to you. and even if there was, its a little too late to do anything about it, dont you think? its your fault, you know that. you do know that, dont you? those watches werent even working watches. and you go any buy one. giving out some *beep* paranoia crap about how its gonna do this or that. and now look at you. youre wrong when you think this is all a little bit of a bad dream. do you see that? see, if i were to tell you what was really happening. no... you havent been listening - but you will... when i tell you what really happened. interested?<<


well, since im from austria there is no guarantee i got everything right, but at least it comes close to what is said. this monologue (and the situation of the blond girl) reminds me a bit of lost highway, and pete daytons situation after he is released from prison. what do you think?

reply

Does it end there? I'm really interested in this.

Gentlemen, you can't fight here! This is the war room!!

reply

like we will never be able to figure out what exactly happened to pete dayton in the night of his disappearence, we will never get to know what >really happened< in darkend room.

reply

Thats basically where it ends, it is pretty dang odd. Have to be a lynch website member to see it though.

reply

Yes, that's the hell of it: it does end there.

You're left wondering "What happened before this scene? What will happen next?"

And we will almost surely never know.

And she's "on the couch" not "in the coach".

Los legales, y con dinero van a su página oficial www.davidlynch.com (allí puedes ver cortos en exclusiva, y un par de miniseries, "Rabbits" y "Dumbland"). Los que no podemos permitírnoslo, o simplemente no queremos pagar intentamos bajárnoslos de servidores como emule. Allí encuentras casi todo lo hecho por Lynch, desde sus largos a sus anuncios para televisión.

What's it like to have a wacko for a son?

This should be the whole transcript, including the Oriental girl at the beggining. Since english isn't my first language, i still have doubts about the right words where they appear between ""'s.

The doubts are "is sitting in darkened room" and "The thing you need to realize now", the latter i'm pretty sure is wrong, but i can't understand it better due to english not being my native language. Regardless, i'm going with schizom's first option, for somehow making more sense.

But it would be interesting if someone who spoke english as their main language, could correct or confirmate the two phrases.

[Oriental girl]

I have a friend.
My friend "is sitting in darkened room".
My friend is crying.

Do you see her?
I cannot see my friend.

Is she talking?
Don't. Don't look at her.

[Blonde girl]

Are you listening to me?
Please come out here.
Someone is saying something to her again!
Don't leave me alone out here.
Come out here! Please... Please!

[Brunette girl]

There is this hole in my slip and i have no idea how it got there. Any clues?

No?

Well it really pisses me off. You think i don't notice these things, but i do. You do think that, don't you? Don't you? Don't you? Look at me.

I notice things, I notice every little *beep* thing. "The thing you need to realize now", and you're gonna realize it real soon too...

There is nothing you can do about this little thing that's happening to you. And even if there was, it's a little too late to do anything about it, don't you think?

It's your fault, you know that. You do know that, don't you? Those watches weren't even working watches, and you go and buy one. Giving out some *beep* paranoia crap about how it's gonna do this or that.

And now look at you. You're wrong when you think this is all a little bit of a bad dream. Do you see that? See, if i were to tell you what was really happening... no, you haven't been listening - but you will... when i tell you what really happened.

Interested?

reply

You got it right, Unordnung.

The confusion in the first phrase is from her accent.
My friend is a-sitting in dark-ned a-room. (sitting in darkened room--distorted by accent)

The second phrase, I hear as:
The thing you need to realize now, you're gonna realize it real soon too

There are a few more contractions in the brunette's speech (There's, Givin', 'bout) but nothing that changes the meaning.

reply

Thanks a lot for the confirmation.

reply

Thanks for the transcript Unordnung, it was very useful.
